INTERVIEW

On the happiest day of their life, they sometimes show too much enthusiasm.

The town hall of Poissy, in the Yvelines department, has decided to toughen up the tone in the face of the excesses observed during weddings.

The municipality will vote on new measures.

From now on, the future spouses will have to provide a check for 1,000 euros in case of bad behavior of their guests.

A deposit, paid upstream, which could be cashed.

Thus, there will also be two municipal police officers equipped with portable cameras who will be in charge of ensuring everyone's safety.

Why such a measure?

After overflows on the public highway, problems were observed within the town hall of Poissy.

Karl Olive, the mayor of Poissy, explains to Europe 1 that he has "no qualms" to ask for this deposit check with three zeros.

"We are talking about an extreme minority, but which pollutes the daily life of a very large majority of our citizens," he said.

"I am a fervent defender of the reciprocity between rights and duties. As such, when weddings take place in our wedding halls, I believe that there should be no incivility."

When a happy day turns into hell

What is the deposit check for, if it is cashed?

"It will include late marriage costs, degradation costs and cleaning costs", explains Karl Olive.

The mayor strongly condemns the use of projectile throws and insults against agents.

"I go so far as to put an armed municipal police presence with portable cameras so that once again, this marriage remains a day of happiness and potentially not a day of bad luck for the registrars."

A measure that risks pushing the mayors of other municipalities to reflect.

And why not, one day, establish a charter of good conduct for weddings?
